Psalm 84



How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD:
        
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Yes, the sparrow has found a house,
        
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
even your altars, O LORD of hosts,
my King, and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in your house:
        
they will be still praising you.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in you;
        
in whose heart are the ways of them.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
        
the rain also fills the pools.
They go from strength to strength,
        
every one of them in Zion appears before God.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer:
        
give ear, O God of Jacob.

Behold, O God our shield,
        
and look upon the face of your anointed.
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
        
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield:
        
the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
